Help Willow Grove’s All-Girls Odyssey of the Mind Team Get to the World Finals!
Hello, friends, family, and fellow Odyssey of the Mind alumni!
We are beyond excited to introduce you to an incredible group of young problem-solvers who have just made history. This all-girls Odyssey of the Mind team from Willow Grove Elementary has worked tirelessly since November 2024, pouring their hearts into creative problem-solving and teamwork. Their dedication paid off—they placed 1st at Regionals, 2nd at the California State Tournament, and have now qualified for the World Finals at Michigan State University!
Why This Matters
Odyssey of the Mind isn’t just a competition; it’s a transformative experience that teaches innovation, collaboration, and critical thinking. These girls—two 4th graders, two 3rd graders, and one 2nd grader—designed and built a vehicle that navigates obstacles, scripted and performed a unique race-themed skit, and created all their own costumes and props. Their hard work and creativity have earned them a spot among the best young minds in the world!
A Call to the Odyssey of the Mind Community
If you’re an Odyssey alumnus, you know how life-changing this experience can be. The friendships, the challenges, the thrill of seeing your ideas come to life, qualifying for this next stage—let’s help these girls feel that same magic at Worlds!
We Need Your Support!
